What is Page-Stealer process?

  Shared By: Adah Miller    Date: Jan 25    Category: Unix / Linux / Ubuntu    Views: 316

Answer:

This is the Kernel process that makes rooms for the incoming pages, by swapping the memory pages that are not the part of the working set of a process. Page-Stealer is created by the Kernel at the system initialization and invokes it throughout the lifetime of the system. Kernel locks a region when a process faults on a page in the region, so that page stealer cannot steal the page, which is being faulted in.
